3:02 am
a server joke for discussion in the entire democrat national convention now there are lovers. now they realize because they've gone down like a rock in water they've gone down in the polls are now all of a sudden they're talking or when we have to talk about dr mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so president trump they're wasting no time in getting back on the campaign trail what morsi been saying and why is new hampshire so important. no new hampshire is important because he last said very narrowly to hillary clinton back in 2016 losing by just 2700 votes but it's important in terms of if he can swing new hampshire from democratic party control to his own party then he would stand a bar far better chance in terms of the results that would emerge later come november so new hampshire very important in terms of president trump politics but
3:03 am
also that personal level to it having lost it so narrowly to hillary clinton but he had a fiery speech here in new hampshire is and among the things he said was immense criticism of the protesters who spent the day here in d.c. marking the anniversary of martin luther king's famous speech back in 1963 president trump said and this is what i quote that those who've been protesting police brutality for a period of months now are and i quote just looking for trouble he continues it has nothing to do with george floyd or anything floyd was the man who was killed by a police officer sparking off national unrest he says they're not protesters they are anarchists they are educators they are. rioters they are looters so the incendiary words there from president trump about the protests that have taken
3:04 am
place in the united states and indeed the protests that took place here in washington d.c. today as we heard there as well president trump will continue these naked attacks on his opponent joe biden describing him as weak implying which has been his campaign trend that joe biden is in control of the leftists of the socialists as he would put it a lot of fact checking goes on into every one of president trans utterances a lot of what he said is incorrect if not completely untrue so certainly there is this element that we are going to see in coming months in coming weeks a highly bruising battle president trump making quite clear which way he's going to go which is to attack joe biden at every possible opportunity yeah mike and at the moment the polls so joe biden are looking pretty good especially in most of those key battleground states but we still have a long way to go that went on the van but only. indeed
3:05 am
yes the real key for joe biden is to turn those states had voted republican in 2016 not only in terms of joe biden's success but also bearing in mind that the democratic party is intent on seizing control in the senate which they need about $4.00 to $5.00 seats to achieve control there having got control of the house during the midterm elections 2 years ago so it's not just joe biden who's looking at these polls that are happening around the country it's the democratic party as a whole wanting to take complete control of government obviously wanting joe biden as the president now as you say joe biden is way ahead in most polls at this particular stage at one point he would had a 10 percent lead over president trump in a number of those battleground states this is lessened a little bit but the issues that are mounting very clearly the coronavirus is a major election issue and many will be judging their candidate in terms of how the
3:06 am
incumbent has responded to that crisis and now democrats contend that president trump has failed dismally pointing to the massive infection rate ongoing infection rate within the united states the republican supporters of at this stage continue polls indicate to believe that president trump is doing a good job regardless of the evidence against that particular point but as i said it's going to be an exceedingly bruising battle which is likely to get even more fierce as that date in the vendor nears daryn all right to my kind of there live for us in washington d.c. mike thank you. tens of thousands of people have rallied in washington d.c. in their new drive for criminal justice reform and racial equality it happened on the 57th anniversary of martin luther king jr as i have a dream speech the us has been gripped by racial protests since george floyd was killed by police in may. reports from washington d.c. . 57 years ago the great american civil rights leader dr martin luther king jr gave
3:07 am
his famous i have a dream speech at the 1963 march on washington are what was king speech was a clarion call for racial equality today one of his sons told a crowd of some 50000 marchers that his father's vision of an equal society still looms unfulfilled we still struggle for justice the militarizing the police dismantling mass incarceration and declaring an determinedly as we can't that black labs narrow. friday's march was announced at the funeral of george boyd who was killed by a white police officer who knelt on his neck. floyd's death sparked months of protests across america if we got a march every day if we got a vote every day we will get you no need of our there.
3:08 am
tens of thousands of people are participating in this peaceful march temperature checks and masks those are all precautions the protesters say a pandemic could not keep them home because with or without black americans are being gunned down by police officers earlier this week in another flashpoint the shooting of jacob blake in wisconsin an officer shot him 7 times in the back paralyzing him in front of his children and. exited at cameras and young bright black and brown people suffer. the marchers say president trump doesn't care about black americans and some members of congress have floated proposals for change but little action has been taken hopefully our efforts don't go unheard hopefully we can really makes a legislative change hopefully we can make some political change and hopefully we
3:09 am
can really move forward from this moment just as hope was in the air in 1963 it's here now it was in the voice of martin luther king's granddaughter. father's dream and after this march there will be more protests to come the protesters say if their voices aren't heard here they will be during the presidential election in november heidi joe castro 0 washington. well derrick johnson is the president of the national association for the advancement of colored people he says friday's speech will have resonated with people across the country. it was a call to action the reality that our constitution guarantees that everyone was created equal what it was certain it in a little right when it came to african-americans we could not take that commitment to the bank of justice and so we are seeing that same reality today 65 years ago we
3:10 am
had a young man was lynched and money mississippi many people who gathered in 1983 recognize the beautiful murder of emmett till it was one of the sparks that started the civil rights movement as we know it and here we are 65 years later still calling on this same level of equity to ensure equal protection under the law is afforded to austin citizens so particularly african-americans in this moment for african-americans we understand and we've seen this before in our history and that's why you see so many people taken to the streets and protesting in louisville kentucky now it condones the west concent in d.c. today because we recognize that this moment we must fight with all we have to ensure democracy work for all and turn out the vote in november because our lives depend on the interior minister of libya's u.n. recognized government has been suspended after a shooting at

3:13 am
because they are part of a union european union this is why in a reaction statement from the turkish foreign ministry in a white the e.u. and e.u. member states not to support greece's maximalist amounts against international law under the pretext of union solidarity greece is not an archipelago state it's against international law for greek islands especially because the result of a continental shelf so basically there is no problem about the territorial waters but turkey and greece are at odds with regard to the continental shelf and exclusive economic zone johns are all places more on the greek reaction from. the sanctions according to certain leaks that have been made would include would begin from the energy sector from sanctioning individuals and ships and companies supplying those ships that are involved in the exploration but they could extent
3:14 am
massively they could extend to e.u. states to turkey to bank loans being given by e.u. bank to turkish companies and individuals and they could extend to travel restrictions to individuals so the climate at today's informal meeting shows that europe has finally rallied behind greece and cyprus it has largely adopted greek and separate positions to put pressure on turkey to come to the table greece wants negotiations to begin on the basis of international maritime law and should they fail it wants turkey to commit for hand to arbitration at the international court at the hague a science one for the u.n. secretary general says antonio guterres has called on both nations to resolve the dispute soon as possible it's critical that these differences the use be resolved peacefully our understanding is greece and turkey have been engaged in

ministration well america's top infectious disease expert has voiced concerns over the guidelines dr anthony is a leading member of the white house coronavirus task force in an interview with my colleague. he says he's concerned some regions aren't opening up in a careful and considered way. but if you take a look at what's going on right now even at a steady state we're having between 35 and 45000 infections per day so even if things don't get worse you know you have more infections and when you have more infections you have more deaths so hopefully we'll be much better prepared to do 2 things to diminish the number of actual infections and by doing that to diminish the number of deaths because as you know we've been hanging around a 1000 deaths per day for quite a period of time right now we've got to get that number down and if we do then we
3:23 am
would have many more deaths but if we don't do something about it we can continue to have that steady you know rather high number of deaths every day that we've seen over the last several weeks to several months actually and of course there is this clash isn't there between the medical advice and the economic imperatives you must be concerned about the prime the chair lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic and resulting in more infections and sadly more deaths. well that's really the problem that we faced in the united states you know we got hit very badly in the northeastern part of a country dominated by the new york metropolitan area which at one time during the outbreak accounted for close to 50 percent of all the infections hospitalizations and deaths as the northeastern part of the country got on the much better control
